“Less than 20 minutes, nakuha na po ng isang taxpayer ang kanyang business permit. Online na po ang ating application at renewal, pati na rin ang payment, sa https://online.navotas.gov.ph (In less than 20 minutes, a taxpayer successfully obtained their business permit. Our application and renewal process, including payment, is now online at https://online.navotas.gov.ph),” he said.
“Basta kumpleto ang requirements, mapapadala na agad ang electronic copy ng permit sa inyong email address (As long as all requirements are complete, the electronic copy of the permit will be sent directly to your email address),” Tiangco added.
He also reminded business owners to file their applications or renewals before the Jan. 20 deadline to avoid delays and penalties.
The city government provides in-person assistance for business owners without access to gadgets or the internet, ensuring inclusivity and equal access to the system.
The online platform is designed for fast, user-friendly transactions and incorporates essential certificates and clearances, such as fire safety and sanitary inspection certificates, simplifying the entire process.
Additionally, taxpayers can conveniently pay their fees through various channels, including bank transfers, GCash, and PisoPay.
“Mag-online na po tayo para maiwasan ang pila at abala. Kung may mga tanong, magTXT JRT lamang o pumunta sa ating Business One-Stop Shop para kayo ay magabayan (Let’s go online to avoid queues and inconvenience. If you have any questions, simply text JRT or visit our Business One-Stop Shop for assistance),” he said.
Navotas City received the Seal of Electronic Business One-Stop-Shop (E-BOSS) compliance from the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) in October 2024, recognizing its commitment to developing digital systems and simplifying processes for taxpayers.
